[cobra@pulse 0]

Hello there all.

Latley we have been working hard on a new mission from

Pulse Studos. (Previously brought you, James Bond : Death & Defiance, and UN Truma)

It is called The Auburn Stalked and heres a quick introduction to the plot:

Quote[/b] ]The Auburn Stalked...

Auburn Prison press release - September 20, 2004

Yesterday at Auburn prison, notorious convicted criminal Phil Salanteno met with security wardens. After a long period of adequate behaviour from the reputed inmate, wardens agreed to fulfill one small request of his. Phil had long made it known of his despise for the confines and the horrendous treatment that inmates received. They were constantly beaten, mildly poisoned and taunted by guards. Phil had protested his innocence since his arrival at Auburn in July of 2002. His belief was that the 'real' criminals deserved to be contained in the 'hell-hole' he was suffering and deserved the anguish he had transgressed. His request to be transferred to a lesser, Medium security prison: McAfee in Brooklyn, will be fulfilled tomorrow when Phil and several other inmates are transported by bus along an undisclosed route.

Thank you for your time.

Well we now are in a small predicament, we would ask that if you wish to try out the mission, not yet completed, could you either PM me or Y2JON for the mission. Also we would ask that you could help us with it, as some problems have been encountered with cut-scenes etc.

Thanks, and we look forward to hearing from you.

Please people, we really do need some help here.

Bump!

The problems have now been narrowed down to 2 and we are keen to upload this for your enjoyment. Perhaps if I explain the problems, people will be keener to help...

1.) Our second chase script does not work at all and an error message appears at the top-left of the screen. Our first chase works perfectly.

2.) When we set text to appear on a trigger or anything for that matter, it only appears for less than a second and then disappears, making it unreadable and very distracting from the whole plot and atmosphere of the entire mission.

If you can help with the above, please PM or reply here and me or Cobra can send you the mission to correct.

I'm sure these are only small problems that somebody here must know a solution to. If this is in the wrong forum we apologise and have no objections to it being moved.

Thank you for your time.

With your first problem please go into more detail, maybe quote the script and the error message.

The problem with text only staying on the screen for a second:

Are you using the titletext command? I have never seen this problem before. It should be: titleText ["Your text", "PLAIN"]

or titletext ["Your text", "PLAIN DOWN"]

Quote[/b] ]'_bike2=_this select 1|#|': Error select: Type Object, expected Array

Thats what the error message is for when the script tries to run.

The Script is:

Quote[/b] ]

_phil=_this select 0

_bike2=_this select 1

#Loop

_bike2 domove (getpos _phil)

~1

goto "loop"

Also the text is in a trigger not in a camera script.

Please help.

You may have another trigger that is cancelling that one out as soon as its triggered, Try putting your text in a script and then have the trigger activate the script.

Here is a text script i used for the D&D mission.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">TitleText["James, is it really neccesary to drive quite so fast?","PLAIN DOWN",.5]

TitleText["More often than you'd think","PLAIN DOWN",.5]

TitleText["I enjoy a spirited ride as much as the next girl but. . .","PLAIN DOWN",.5]

Yes that could work but then there is still the Chase Script problem. Any chance you could have a quick look at the mission when you have a minute?

[Winters 1]

I wont be able to have a look until i get home from work tonight but i will give it a shot. If the missions small go ahead and e-mail it to me.
